I would like to receive this information electronically a spreadsheet if possible.
If the decision is made to withhold some of this information using exemptions in the Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.
If you need clarification please contact me at this email address. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the 20th working day.
I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Gareth Davies
